With that being said, the pediatrician – I adore her! She is on board with how we eat and uses medicine as a last resort instead of always having a prescription pad in hand! – Told me that I need to go as vegan as possible and as organic as possible.

Okay, not a horribly big deal. Until I realized just how much I cook with cheese and Greek yogurt!!! I have a few 100% vegan meals, but I love to bake and cook! Living without yogurt is okay, I can deal with that and find substitutions (if anyone has an idea for a vegan substitute, I am all ears) but it is really the cheese I am having issues with. Just last night I posted a recipe for Loaded Southwestern Vegetarian Quesadilla, how do you make a quesadilla without cheese? the first part of the word is practically queso!

So hear is my cry for help. I know it is possible to go vegan successfully. I have friends who have done it, but then they usually add back dairy products because they missed them. But I need to do it as a lifestyle change for good. I think it will help future children of mine too if I can cut down on exposing them to all of those sensitive foods.
